Putin Paradigm

A term synonymous with a Napoleonic Complex, also known as Little Man Syndrome.

Person 1: Did you just see that ripped guy in the souped up, loud pickup truck rev his engine and flip off that guy pushing his child in a stroller for no apparent reason and then peel out and speed off and cut off another car on the neighborhood street?

Person 2: Yeah, he must have a Putin Paradigm.

Paradigm Mechanic

Someonr who can't change and entire system, process or worldview, but knows how to tweak it so it's less vile and ficked up.

There's no way we can defeat capitalism, just by ourselves, in the next few months but as paradigm mechanics, we can fuck it up enough to improve it for a lot of people.

Science Paradigms Struggle

The messy, often brutal process described by Thomas Kuhn where an old scientific paradigm (like Newtonian physics) is challenged by too many anomalies, leading to a crisis and eventual revolution, installing a new paradigm (like Einsteinian relativity). The struggle isn't just about data; it's about power, reputation, and worldview. Old-guard professors die, textbooks are rewritten, and what was heresy becomes dogma until the next crisis.

Example: "The conference on consciousness was a full-blown science paradigms struggle. The neuroscientists waved fMRI scans, the quantum biologists talked about orchestrated reductions, and the panpsychists quoted ancient philosophy. It was less a debate and more a three-way intellectual cage match with a cash bar." Science Paradigms Struggle
